The Battle’s Not Yours

In Luke (9:23), Jesus says, ” If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross every day and follow me.” 

When you remember Love, 

yourself is forgotten. 

For that instant, 

you are beyond the body, 

beyond the story, 

beyond the world, 

being Love. 

No narration, 

no history,

no future,

no language,

nothing.

See how much freer you are when you are no thing?

When you’re no one?

We’re all trying to be somebody.

Trying to make a name,

when the only way to make a name is to take His. 

To forget yourself,

to become nothing.

Rumi says, “then He makes you everything.”

I Love you, 

nik
